One question that keeps popping up is:
"If we don't have kids, can we still come?"
OF COURSE! The game tables are open to everyone. We just want the players to understand that this is going to have an 'all ages' theme to it. I will also have the room 'partitioned' (by game age-ranges) to the different age groups.
Also, if you have one of those games laying around the house that you have not had a chance to try, BRING IT IN! We'll work through the instructions and figure it out. I have access to a number of gaming websites that also provide 'how-to-play' videos.
As the leaves are turning and the air is cooling, I find that I am drawn to the more Halloween-themed games. The four featured games for October will be:
Please come in through the lower level / street side. We will meet in the lower level Community Room from 1:30 pm until 5:30 pm. Note that this is an 'after closing' event. The rest of the library will be closed, although we will have access to restrooms.
With that being said, we do have limitations of space. The plan at this time is to have at least 8 tables set up for gaming. 4 of these tables will be (initially) dedicated to games brought in by me. If there is no interest in the games on hand, then we will happily pack them up to make room for other games. There will also be access to the WJN game library. Participants are invited to bring favorite games as well, with the understanding play space will be on a first-come-first-served basis.
This group is designed to be a family-friendly atmosphere, with the expectations that we will have younger members of the community involved as well. Please note that this is NOT a daycare service. Minors must be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian. We fully expect all participants to uphold the atmosphere of kind respectfulness and fair play for all the age groups who will be involved.
RPG and miniature wargamers are invited as well, but we ask that you keep in mind to keep it family-friendly, as well as the 4-hour time period.
Game on!
